(Book 2, Hadith 113) #35197
Kindness and Mercy in the Mosque

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed mercy and kindness to a Bedouin who urinated in the mosque, instead of punishing him.

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "A Bedouin came into the mosque and uncovered his private parts to urinate. The people called out to him and began to raise their voices but the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said ,'Let him be'.So they let him be and he urinated. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered a bucketful of water to be brought and it was poured on the place".
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ دَخَلَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ الْمَسْجِدَ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ فَرْجِهِ لِيَبُولَ فَصَاحَ النَّاسُ بِهِ حَتَّى عَلاَ الصَّوْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ اتْرُكُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَتَرَكُوهُ فَبَالَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِذَنُوبٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَصُبَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about an incident that happened in the mosque when a Bedouin man entered and uncovered his private parts to urinate. The people were outraged but instead of punishing him, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed mercy and kindness by ordering a bucketful of water to be poured on the place. This hadith teaches us that we should always show mercy and kindness even if someone does something wrong or inappropriate. We should not be too quick to judge or punish someone for their mistakes, but rather try our best to understand them first before taking any action. It also teaches us that we should respect places of worship like mosques as they are sacred places where we can come together as one community regardless of our differences.
